Abstract

This paper examines households' participation in community-based disaster management in western Nepal based on the secondary and primary data sets under the framework of explorative and descriptive statistics. As a result of the study, multi-hazards occurred. Out of these multi-hazards, the catchment areas and the community were disaster-prone by flood and landslide more than other hazards: insects, drought, animals, etc. in terms of severity and frequency. Further, the community-based disaster management that was proactive and participatory to assess disasters, hazard locations, and their impacts made stakeholders to the community for their participation, ownership, and resilience. In community-based disaster management, the household was actively participatory not only in pre-disaster, disaster, and post-disaster focusing on preparedness and planning more than rescue and reconstruction, rehabilitation, and recovery. Its economic cost is 78 mean days per household. It is 21 percent of a year (365 days) calendar. Its mean wage income loss is 39000 Nepali Rupees (330 USD) per annum that is 30 percent of 1071 USD per capita. Thus, the rural household has a significant economic cost of CBDMG activity to be resilient from multi natural hazards. However, it can reduce multi times the disastrous cost to them. Its outcome may not be positive to household income, welfare, and poverty reduction. Thus, the community-based disaster management approach is effective was in terms of less time, fewer resources but the quick response.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of selected corporate governance variables on the financial performance of selected quoted deposit money bank in Nigeria. More specifically, the study explores the relationship between board size, board composition, audit committee independence, gender diversity, and financial performance - return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). Arguing from the agency and resource dependency theories, data covering the period 2010-2019 were collected from the audited annual accounts of ten purposively-chosen deposit money banks. To provide robust analysis of data and ensure triangulation of methods, the multiple regression analysis in SPSS version 21 and the Smart PLS structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied. Findings indicate that while board size and audit committee independence are negatively related with corporate financial performance, gender diversity showed positive relationship, and board composition demonstrated mixed relationship. The study recommends among others that firms should try to reduce their board size to plus or minus ten, and also reduce the number of outside (external or non-executive) board members, but with strict adherence to the regulatory guideline. The study proposes a SEM-based model to guide financial institutions post-Covid-19.

Abstract

The downstream petroleum sub-sector in Nigeria has remained highly competitive since the partial subsidy removal era. Operators now adopt various marketing efforts to attract and retain customers. While several models have been used to examine the drivers of customer loyalty in the petroleum industry, no study is known that applies the 7Ps model. This study, attempts to close this gap. Data was generated from petroleum products customers in the Southeast region of Nigeria, and analyzed with the SPSS 23.0 multiple regression analysis. Findings reveal that all the 7Ps variables – product, price, place, promotion, people, process and physical evidence are significant drivers of customer loyalty. The study recommends appropriate blending of the mix elements for more positive outcomes.

Collected data were analyzed with SPSS Version 21.0, simple regression analysis. Results indicate that the customer complaint based on management constructs (accessibility, responsiveness, integration) significantly influence marketing performance of bank.

Abstract

This study was carried out on records management and organizational performance in Renaissance University Ugbawka, Enugu State, Nigeria. Specifically, this study sought to find out the relationship between: records keeping and employee effectiveness; document handling and employee performance, as well as adequate records safety and availability of record facilities. The study adopted the survey research design using primary sources of data. Fifty-eight full time academic staff of Renaissance University Ugbawka, Enugu state served as the population of this study, out of which, 47 responses were used for analysis. Again, data were collected and analyzed using tables and simple percentages. Stated hypotheses were tested using Multiple Regression Analysis at 0.05 level of significance in SPSS version 21. The study found positive and significant relationships between record keeping and employee effectiveness and between document handling and employee performance. Statistically speaking, the study did not find any positive and significant relationship between adequate records safety and availability of facilities. Thus, the study concluded that proper records keeping helps to avert the stress of duplicating recording efforts, saves time used in recreating such records and enables users to compare performance over time, thereby improving employee effectiveness. Again, when organizations properly handle their records, staff achieve greater results by working in line with the records policies; records become easier to handle and the staff utilize their recording time effectively, thereby improving employee performance. In addition, adequate safety of organizational records enables proper identification and location of records, easy access to records by users and accountability among staff.

Abstract

The complexity involved in combating crime in different regions of the world makes information sharing fundamental in crime management. Unfortunately, crime victims, who should be in the frontline of providing this information to law enforcement agents are often lethargic and lackadaisical in doing so, owing to no fault of theirs. Thus, this paper explored the convergence between socio-demographic variables and crime reporting in Nigeria. Empirically, the study examined the relationship between the attitude of law enforcement agents, location of the crime, nature of the crime, and attitude to crime reporting. Mixed methods, including a cross-sectional survey and in-depth interview, was used to collect data from 1112 respondents through a multi-stage sampling technique. The quantitative data were analysed using simple linear regression; while, the qualitative data collected were analysed in themes as a complement to the quantitative data. Findings revealed that attitudes of law enforcement agents, crime location and nature of crime significantly affect attitude to crime reporting in the study area. The study concludes that there is a connection between selected socio-demographic variables such as attitudes of law enforcement agents, crime location, nature of crime and attitude to crime reporting. It was, therefore, recommended that law enforcement officers who fail to abide by the ethics of their profession and the standard procedure governing their interaction with both complainants and suspects should be severely sanctioned. Besides, law enforcement officers should be trained and re-trained in such areas as public relations and professional ethics guiding their operations

Abstract

The agricultural sector in Nigeria is a sector of the Nigerian economy that has the potentials of boosting the country’s economy, create employment and earn the country massive foreign exchange. But due to the country’s over dependence on the oil sector, the agricultural sector has been neglected or not given the attention it deserves. This work tends to highlight how the marketing of agricultural products could boost the Nigerian economy if properly harnessed. It also exposed some problems facing the sector and proffered some possible solutions to these problems.
